Is ablution (Wudu) required after eating meat cooked by fire?
Chapter on What Nullifies Purification
Al-Mughni
Book of Purification
Primary text
Ablution is not required after eating any food that fire has touched, excluding camel meat, regardless of whether fire contacted it or not. This is the position held by the majority of scholars, attributed to the Rightly Guided Caliphs, Ubayy ibn Ka'b, Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn Abbas, 'Amir ibn Rabi'ah, Abu ad-Darda', Abu Umamah, and the general body of jurists. Currently, there is no known disagreement on this point.

A group of early Muslims, including Ibn 'Umar, Zayd ibn Thabit, Abu Talhah, Abu Musa, Abu Hurayrah, Anas, 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, Abu Mijlaz, Abu Qilabah, al-Hasan, and az-Zuhri, held that ablution is obligatory for what fire has altered. They relied on the narration from Abu Hurayrah, Zayd, and 'A'ishah that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stated, "Perform ablution for what fire has touched," and in another narration, "Ablution is only required for what fire has touched," both narrated by Muslim.
